How sharp is too sharp?

[K_W]

At what point does blade become too sharp? I'm talking about razors...

Zaffiro Kickstarts It $100k Sapphire Razor for Less than $199 | Digital Trends

New razor is 10x sharper than steel, lasts "for months" and only is 80 ATOMS thick at the edge.

At what point would a razor stop gliding over our skin but cut hair... and when does it cut ANYTHING it touches, like your face?

Wow , that looks interesting. Thanks for the link , I hadn't heard about that. Kinda pricey, but I do like the look and the concept.

Good question.
My g-friends mom brought home hospital razors. (I didn't know) They looked like any other disposable razor but WOW they cut down to nothing and fast. Very noticeable difference. They dulled fast though. When I asked about them she just said to be careful if you're not used to them. She brings them home to shave her....cat.
They are the ones used to prep patients for surgery.



I would also like to know the answer to your question.

I've always felt at ease around my girlfriends/wives family, but I've NEVER, I say NEVER felt at ease enough to talk about "personal grooming" habits!

Given razors have to balance durability with sharpness, I can see these being VERY sharp. If they are literally designed to be used immediately after opening and never used again, whereas a consumer razor is expected to be used several times, I can see them throwing re-usability out the window and just making it as absolutely sharp as possible for that one time use.

but back OT, Mark my words, if Rhino gets his hands on one there is a VERY good chance we will be setting up a gofundme for his digit reattachment surgery. If he can manage to cut himself to the bone with a normal knife, dear God he'll cut a finger clean off with one of these!

I don't think too sharp is possible.

I know that too polished is possible.

I know that too thin is possible.
